Air Canada has expanded its European offerings with new seasonal nonstop flights between Montreal and Porto. As a result, travelers now enjoy more convenient access to Portugal’s historic and cultural north. The airline’s move strengthens summer travel options while tapping into growing interest in authentic European destinations.

Since early June, this summer-only route has run until late August. Therefore, Canadian travelers have a perfect opportunity to explore Porto’s UNESCO-listed old town, vibrant riverfront, and world-famous wine valleys. The addition of this route shows how Air Canada responds swiftly to market demand.

Moreover, this direct service operates three times weekly in both directions. Thanks to its overnight timing from Montreal, passengers arrive early in Portugal, ready to begin their adventures. Similarly, return flights from Porto offer convenient midday departures, making trip planning seamless.

Additionally, adding Porto supports Air Canada’s broader strategy to grow its transatlantic network. In fact, the airline has already introduced or resumed several other European routes for the summer. This aggressive expansion reflects the company’s focus on regional destinations that blend heritage, beauty, and tourism appeal.

Clearly, the airline continues aligning with shifting travel trends. As travelers seek unique cities rich in culture and natural charm, Porto stands out. Ultimately, Air Canada now makes it easier than ever for Canadians to explore Northern Portugal directly.
